Windows 7: how to setup multiple monitors? help

I'm not sure about boot time since I use an SSD, but it only has 2 processes running. It has a free trail, so no harm in trying it.
You should probably start without it and just use the Win 7 tools to get a feel for dual monitors, and then try them out.

What are you waiting for, turn the computer off, plug in that second monitor and enjoy. I could never go back to a single monitor.

My second monitor is a little older and is not widescreen
I'm thinking about just using it for a month or 2 to see if i like it nd buy a better monitor and scrap the old one
It has a 1024x768 res but its not widescreen I believe. And I don't have that monitor with me Atm
You think it would work fine?

It will work fine as a second monitor, but not if you want to span the desktop across both. I used a 2048x1152 with a 1280x1024 with no problems.

Ok I think I'm going to use this second monitor to just try out as I don't want to spend money for no reason
hope it doesnt look like crape

Dual monitors are great for having a web browser open in one, and something else like IM in the other monitor. It's great for photoshop, tools on the smaller monitor and image you are working on in the main monitor.

Will I notice any performance problems?
Should I use the extended option or what? How do I set the better monitor as the main monitor?
thanks for all ur help!
